Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup sugar cookie dough Feel free to use gluten-free sugar cookie dough if needed.
  • 1 cup homemade lemon curd Store-bought works in a pinch!
  • optional powdered sugar for dusting Recommended for a touch of elegance.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Press the sugar cookie dough into the mini muffin tins to form little cups.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden around the edges.
  4. Allow the cookie cups to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Once cool, fill each cookie cup generously with the homemade lemon curd.
  6. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Notes

For presentation, arrange cookies on a bright platter and serve with fresh berries or vanilla ice cream. Stored in an airtight container, they will last in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can freeze the baked cookie cups without filling them for longer storage.
